摘要

Background

We report a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based analysis of an unsuccessful open fenestration for aortic dissection with mesenteric malperfusion.

Case presentation

A 75-year-old male was admitted for acute type B aortic dissection complicated by mesenteric malperfusion. He had a concomitant infrarenal abdominal aneurysm, prompting surgical infrarenal fenestration. Intraoperatively, the proximal intimal flap was resected near the renal arteries, and the aneurysm was replaced with a prosthetic graft. Despite the intervention, mesenteric malperfusion worsened, requiring additional endovascular aortic repair. CFD analysis revealed persistent false lumen flow and true lumen compression due to a large entry tear and residual proximal anastomotic stenosis.

Conclusion

CFD analysis suggests that a large entry tear and residual stenosis from insufficient fenestration may result in inadequate false lumen depressurization.
